  • A comparison of echocardiographic measures of diastolic function for predicting all-cause mortality in a predominantly male population.

    Nguyen PK, Schnittger I, Heidenreich PA. Am Heart J. 2011; 161 (3): 530-7

    Prior studies demonstrating the prognostic value of echocardiographic measures of diastolic function have been limited by sample size, have included only select clinical populations, and have not incorporated newer measures of diastolic function nor determined their independent prognostic value. The objective of this study is to determine the independent prognostic value of established and new echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function.
